Estuary
An estuary is a partially enclosed coastal body of brackish water with
one or more rivers or streams flowing into it, and with a free
connection to the open sea.[1]
Estuaries form a transition zone between river environments and
maritime environments. They are subject both to marine
influences—such as tides, waves, and the influx of saline
water—and to riverine influences—such as flows of fresh water and
sediment. The mixing of sea water and fresh water provide high levels
of nutrients both in the water column and in sediment, making
estuaries among the most productive natural habitats in the world.[2]
Most existing estuaries formed during the
HoloceneHolocene epoch with the
flooding of river-eroded or glacially scoured valleys when the sea
level began to rise about 10,000–12,000 years ago.[3] Estuaries are
typically classified according to their geomorphological features or
to water-circulation patterns

Time Zone
A time zone is a region of the globe that observes a uniform standard
time for legal, commercial, and social purposes.
TimeTime zones tend to
follow the boundaries of countries and their subdivisions because it
is convenient for areas in close commercial or other communication to
keep the same time.
Most of the time zones on land are offset from Coordinated Universal
TimeTime (UTC) by a whole number of hours (
UTC−12UTC−12 to UTC+14), but a few
zones are offset by 30 or 45 minutes (e.g. Newfoundland Standard Time
is UTC−03:30,
NepalNepal Standard
TimeTime is UTC+05:45, and Indian Standard
TimeTime is UTC+05:30).
Some higher latitude and temperate zone countries use daylight saving
time for part of the year, typically by adjusting local clock time by
an hour
